Sellers Insight:
I have loved living at this charming 19th-century cottage, full of original features yet stylishly updated to retain its warmth and character.
The cottage faces south-east, so is always full of natural light, whilst the generous garden, landscaped into the side of the valley, has raised beds made from Cornish stone.
I will be sorry to leave the pretty lawn and mature evergreen shrubs, as they give a surprisingly low-maintenance garden that’s full of colour to enjoy — with one bed full of perennials. I’ve made full use of the greenhouse and traditional wood store too!
The seating areas in the garden are a lovely place to enjoy the sunset, which also lights up the kitchen-diner — this room is always bathed in light from the Velux windows, and the underfloor heating beneath the terracotta tiles ensures cosy toes.
I particularly love the sweet sitting room with ECOSY woodburner in the original stone fireplace — so snuggly on a winter’s evening under the wooden beams.
Pendown has been a wonderfully peaceful home, and I’m sure new owners will enjoy it just as much as I have.


Inside
Full of warmth and traditional features, this well-maintained home offers a flexible layout across two floors. The front door opens into a spacious dual aspect lounge with exposed stone detailing, generous proportions, and plenty of natural light. A separate dining room sits to the side, providing an ideal space for more formal meals or family gatherings.

To the rear, the kitchen is fitted with shaker style units, a ceramic sink, and granite effect worktops. With a vaulted ceiling, Velux windows, and exposed beams, this space feels light and airy, and there's ample room for a breakfast table beside a feature stone wall. The kitchen overlooks the rear garden and opens directly onto a sunlit patio. A stylish ground floor bathroom is also located just off the kitchen, fitted with a contemporary white suite and window to the garden.

Upstairs, the first floor offers three bedrooms, two doubles and a single, all served by a central landing with countryside views to the rear. The layout is practical, retaining character charm with exposed elements and traditional window finishes.

Outside
The rear garden is a standout feature, thoughtfully planted and well stocked with mature trees, shrubs, and flowering borders. A gravelled seating area, lawn, and patio create spaces for relaxing, dining, or gardening. An original stone outbuilding and greenhouse sit neatly tucked into the edge of the garden, while a detached garage with adjoining utility room provides excellent storage or hobby space. A driveway offers further off road parking.

With its established gardens, detached setting, and flexible interior, Pendown is an ideal choice for buyers seeking a peaceful home with character, yet within easy reach of Bodmin, the A30, and beautiful Cornish countryside.
